Pa., July 25. —(/P)—A golfer’s parr uise, of good lies, long roll and perfect putts, may be realized when experiments of Penn State’s agronomists with turf grasses are completed and put into effect. Golfers will pound the rubber ball over scientific turf and putt on sci entificaUy nurtured and selecteci J greens. Nine plots have been seeded to introduce strains of bent grasses for use on golf greens and three plots have been planted in stolons, ten der shoots of bent grasses. Ten plots of grasses have been planted with varied strains to find a good type for fairway use. In a breeding and selection project. 2340 individual plants of 13 different species of turf grasses have been planted in rows for observation. The divot-digging dub will be combatted by the selection of a very resistant grass. Another aim is to find a grass that will give more yards per stroke on the fair way, measurements being made of the distance balls will travel on the various kinds. A method for field hybridizing of small seeded turf grasses is also sought. The chief objective of this experiment is to secure high seed production and excellent turf quali ties. DAWES PULLS DOWN ‘NO SMOKING’ SIGN LONDON. July 25.—(/P)—Charles G.

The “No Smok ing” sign in the embassy reception room has been removed. Ambassador Dawes was chatting with a group of newspaper men in his office, smoking as usual, his famous underslung pipe, when one of the group suddenly asked: “Do you mind if we smoke, Mr. Ambassador?” “Certainly not.” replied Dawes with a puzzled smile, adding, “Sure ly you gentlemen don’t feel under any restraint here?” The sign in the reception room was described to him. “What?” he exclaimed. “I hadn't seen it. We’ll institute a reform right now and hav' that sign re moved.” LOST BRIDEGROOM FOUND LIVERPOOL.—Walter E.

FOOT-EASE DURING VACATION i r By JOSEPHYSTP ffTDDtFSTOV Feet that will “carry on,” even under the strain of the Summer sports, can be yours, aZS at the cost of very little time and effort. Callous spots on the balls of the feet, corns or ingrown nails are a problem in Summer or any other time. The best and surest way of rid ding oneself of such torturing troubles is to con sult a reliable chiropodist. But, for the most part, real Summer foot troubles consist of burning; ach ing and tired feet, and the following attention will give almost immediate relief. Used with other small precautions, one should be able to walk, play ten nis and golf all day without suffering from foot weariness and pain. The following treatment is especially good for burning, aching feet, as the necessary massage will rest the tired muscles and soothe them into a state of perfect relaxation. When coming in from the open simply apply gobs and gobs of cold cream to the foot, massaging it well into the skin with a firm stroke. Allow the cream to get between the toes, and there, too, a gentle but firm massage will f&FDHlhlE prove beneficial. HikVM pcnttid Allow the cream to remain on the feet for a min-. P.UwWXOiw ute or two before the massage, then the massage should occupy about ten minutes’ time—longer if you have the leisure and inclination. Using a soft towel of gauze, remove the cream, then hold five or six hot compresses to the feet. This is done by wringing a towel out in hot water and wrapping it around the feet. Let it remain on for a few minutes, or until it begins to cool, then place another hot towel around the feet. Follow the hot compresses with the same number of cold compresses. This done, the feet are prepared for the ice massage. Simply rub a piece of ice over them until the skin tingles. Pat the feet dry and sprinkle talcum powder over them. All burn ing and aching will have vanished by now and it will be hard to realize that those very same feet were etching lines of fatigue and weari ness in your face but a few minutes before. Now for the finishing touch to promote complete relaxation. Lie flat on your back, place a book or pillow just above the heels so that the blood will circulate from the toes. Lie in this position for at least five minutes. That finishes the hot weather treatment for the feet and you may be sure that you will enjoy the next bit of sport to its fullest, knowing full well that foot problems are over forever. In my next article I’ll give exer cises for weak feet and a formula for foot powder. *-. BUYS DRESSES FOR 5 LONDON.—Reginald D.
